I support this! Lack of a good genre tag for Arcade Puzzle games hurts discoverability. I tagged Tetrachroma and some other games.

This video is great! The part about how movies convey haptic qualities is also super relevant to game feel.

I like the concept of the Rainbow Dolphin game I made for the falling block jam, but I feel unsatisfied with the 9 day jam version, so I'm continuing to develop it! I'm waiting to reveal the post jam version when it's ready (soon!)

First Post-Jam Update! Hey all! Excited to share a small post game jam update. Rainbow Dolphin was made in 9 days for Falling Block Jam, but now that the jam is over I want to be able to respond to feedback and maybe even d...

I couldnโ€™t resist doing a tiny post-jam update! The easy mode starts easier and has a tutorial graphic.

Iโ€™m also preserving the original jam build for posterity.

This is a clip of what the max speed level in my jam game Rainbow Dolphin is like. The noise blocks are "pollution" that you have to avoid breaking. It gets pretty chaotic but I find it fun. When I recover from the jam I want to develop the idea a bit more. #FallingBlockJam

My #FallingBlockJam submission is Rainbow Dolphin. Flip and push blocks to form rainbows, as a pink, blue, yellow, or green dolphin! I had fun exploring quirky mechanics and thinking about dolphins: sparsevector.itch.io/rainbow-dolp...

The game is more fun with the pink dolphin sprites. I want to make the dolphin color selectable, but it might be pink-only for the jam version (priorities).

Made good progress on my #FallingBlockJam entry today. Slowly starting to feel like a game as I add more visual feedback and tune stuff. Still lots left to do, most importantly making dolphin sprites ๐Ÿฌ

Day 4 of the jam and the blocks keep falling. Today I added DAS and a "DASh" button to the controls, a basic HUD, and worked on music. I'm still delaying sprite work until I finalize the block size, but I have a plan ๐Ÿ˜…

#FallingBlockJam Day 3! Still working out mechanics, very placeholder everything. My idea is you are a dolphin pushing and flipping stacks above the water to form rainbows. The challenge is efficient movement and managing "coyote time". Still early, but I think there's promise.

Day 2 of Falling Block Jam! Everything is placeholder as I'm still testing a concept. I still haven't finished implementing the controls, but I can confirm that blocks are falling!

Falling Block Jam Day 1! Spent time working on music and thinking about the theme. I'm also using the Jam to port my C++/SDL library to Emscripten, which... works so far? Still need to test a few things, and then it's on to gameplay.

[Tetrachroma] Console death marathon YouTube video by renda

Recently, a very skilled player renda shared on YouTube complete runs for every Tetrachroma marathon mode on DEATH difficulty. This includes Console mode, where this difficulty is inspired by the NES Tetris "kill screen". It's amazing! Congratulations to renda! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNKo...

Nice! One of the things on my TODO list is to get my C++ SDL wrapper building with emscripten before the falling block game jam. In theory it should work, but I'm kind of dreading it ๐Ÿ˜…
